About the Dedication Day

Now you can share in our amazing Memorial Dedication Ceremony as it takes place on Anzac Parade, Canberra, on Boer War Day, 31 May 2017. Anyone who can access the Internet can easily tap into the Ceremony as it happens – or replay the Ceremony after the event if it is more convenient.

This is an awesome Dedication Day!

The Boer War of 1899-1902 was Australia’s very first war, and now, for the very first time, there is a National Boer War Memorial facing Anzac Parade, Canberra, taking its place among memorials to all of the other conflicts involving our nation.

And what a Memorial it is!

Four meticulously sculpted bronze statues -- 150% of life size -- depict Australian troopers riding the African veldt, amid copper walls bearing texts from real diaries of some of the 23,000 Australian men and women who served in the Boer War.

More than 1,000 descendents and well-wishers are attending its Dedication Day.
